The server-ip command specifies the external IP address used by a load balancing group to provide services.
The undo server-ip command deletes the external IP address used by a load balancing group to provide services.
By default, the external IP address used by a load balancing group to provide services is not configured.
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| ip-address | Specifies the external IP address used by the load balancing group to provide services. | The value is in dotted decimal notation. |
Usage Scenario
In an LTE scenario, an IPSec cluster is often deployed to improve the network reliability and IPSec gateway use efficiency. The IPSec gateways in the IPSec cluster function as one virtual device, and base stations only need to negotiate with the virtual device to establish IPSec tunnels. The base stations do not need to know IPSec gateways to which they establish IPSec tunnels. The IPSec cluster can select one IPSec gateway to respond to IPSec negotiation requests of base stations based on the load of group members. This command specifies the external IP address used by a load balancing group to provide services.
Precautions
VRRP must be configured for the load balancing group to select the master device in the group. The external IP address used by the load balancing group to provide services must be the same as the virtual IP address of the VRRP group.
Other member devices in the load balancing group use this external IP address to send load information to the master device.
